COLORADO @ ARIZONA (ARI -225, 9.5)
F5 OVER 4.5
Get this one before the price and/or the line moves. These two are two of the worst defensive teams in baseball and it doesn't help that each will have an IED on the mound tonight.
Both starting pitchers have extremely high ERAs. Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez has an ERA of 5.53. That's because he gives up too much contact. Rodriguez has allowed at least 6 hits in each of his last 5 starts. He has also walked at least two batters in his last four games.
On the other side, it's Bradley Blalock for the Rockies. He somehow has a win this season - he's 1-3 - despite having an ERA above 7.00 (7.68). In his last start, Blalock hit that ERA and allowed 7 earned runs. He's appeared in 9 games total this season and 7 of them have final scores of at least 9 combined runs.
Arizona ranks 25th defensively in MLB, allowing 4.89 runs per game. Colorado is dead last giving up 6.49 runs per game. The DBacks have gone Over the F5 total in 8 of their last 10 games an the Rockies have done the same in 8 of their last 10. Arizona has the second-highest F5 Over percentage in MLB this season.
